they were enabled to get ls@34c above the

the movement more or less, and local millers

Flour-The Market Record says: 1.-The
demand was improved to-day and while quo
tations for flour show no material change,
the higher price of wheat gave stronger
tone to the market. Millers bought wheat
CHI al advance showing
confidence in the position of prices. There
is large demand for wheat to go from here
to mills in states east Of Chicago and that
feature was giving Minneapolis millers some
curiosity to know whether there is wheat
enough in the Northwest TO supply the yari-
Gus demands for it."
